Signal conditioning I/O modules
12 March 2014
Computer/Embedded Technology
Dataforth’s highly flexible MAQ20 industrial data acquisition and control system is now available in South Africa. Incorporating more than 25 years of design expertise in the process control industry, the system was developed for a wide range of applications including factory and process automation, machine automation, military and aerospace, power and energy, oil and gas, and environmental monitoring.
The initial MAQ20 system offering is a family of DIN-rail mounted, programmable, multi-channel, industrially rugged signal conditioning input and output modules and communication modules. They mount onto an industry standard 35 x 7,5 mm gull-wing DIN rail; a backbone mounts within the rail to provide power and communication interconnections between the communication modules and each I/O module.
The system offers low cost per channel, with each communication module interfacing to up to 24 input and output modules to create a system with as many as 384 channels that fits within a standard 19” instrumentation rack. Input modules are available for strain, current, voltage, RTD, potentiometer and frequency, as well as discrete I/O signals.
Processors within each module make this distributed system highly powerful, enabling it to support Modbus TCP/IP or RTU protocol, as well as RS-232/422, Ethernet and USB with host software.
